The Connoisseur
by Evan S. Connell
"Connell's ninth novel, the story of a man "transfigured by art."
A writer who has achieved some stature among critics and readers. In this book, Connell novel tells of a businessman who discovers art, specifically pre-Columbian, on a business trip and becomes virtually obsessed by the need to learn more and acquire pieces. The effects on the other facets of his life are explored.
"With a marvelous concreteness and delicacy, the author of Mrs. Bridge and Mr. Bridge gives us the very instant in which a man is seized by art -- and, through this man, makes us live the experience of becoming a passionate collector, a connoisseur."
